Restaurant L'Hippocampe sur Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

Superlative location with tables on the veranda on the cliff Correct cuisine, menu a little limited at least at midday

Excellent French cuisine restaurant with elaborate, refined and very tasty dishes. Two tasting menus are offered, one at €52 (first course + second course + cheese + dessert) and one at €42 (like the first course but without cheese). In price, they are both very competitive compared to à la carte dishes and there is an excellent choice of dishes. The restaurant is located on the cliff almost at the top of Cap Martin, which gives it a spectacular view of Roquebrune and Menton and the rest of the coast on the Italian side. Absolutely ask for an outdoor table. The position is also very favorable for seeing the Roquebrune fireworks on August 14th. The staff is very helpful and kind. Well done!

Reading the reviews, I expected better... a good choice on the menu. We took the menu for 39€. The starter which was a cold fish terrine arrived lukewarm, which worried me a little about the cold chain. The dish was okay, I liked discovering this fish. For dessert, in my opinion, it is industrial. The chocolate on top tastes like liquid chocolate you buy in a supermarket. The mocktail was very good! The view is very pleasant ☀️ In summary, this restaurant is quite nice. But looking at the prices, the reviews, and in comparison with other restaurants in Roquebrune in the same price range, I expected better.

Very friendly owner. Taking care of her customers even if she likes to "complain"🤣. The panorama is fantastic, the cuisine simple but good. Pretty cloth plates and napkins. I loved this evening. The quality to price ratio is excellent. I highly recommend it and I will return there on my next stay in Menton.

A place out of time. Day spent on the small beach. Direct access to the water via a small staircase. Quiet. Family atmosphere. Establishment which celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Perfect spot for the perfect day. Take a break from the pebble-beaches and relax here with a nice “dock” and ladder to the water. Food was great and so was the service. Been to a lot of expensive beach clubs. But this one is better and more affordable.

Exceptional with your feet almost in the water but with a breathtaking view. Very good discovery and delicious dishes.

Very pleasant place, excellent cuisine, the owners are very welcoming. To do again.

Superbe vue, cuisine fraîche et de qualité, repas en famille, nous avons testé les trois menus, tout était bien, les raviolis aux homards, le carpaccio de poulpes et le filet de sole en brioche, il manque le sourire de la patronne heureusement il y a celui de ses filles et du jeune serveur

Endroit charmant, avec une vue exceptionnelle sur la baie de Menton, au bord de l’eau et même au dessus. Belle carte à dominante maritime, assiettes copieuses et bien réalisées, qualité/prix correcte au vue de l’endroit et des autres restaurants voisins avec des menus cohérents. Service familial avec la mère patronne et ses filles, on sent la restauration d’une autre époque mais terriblement efficace. A refaire hors saison.
